SEPTEMBER 5, DE 2025, Spielfilm von Tim Fehlbaum, 91 min
With John Magaro, Peter Saarsgard, Leonie Benesch and others.
Munich, September 5, 1972, on the 10th day of competition at the Olympic Games, eight Palestinian terrorists take eleven members of the Israeli team hostage. The American broadcaster ABC reports live on the hostage-taking, making media history in the process. The film, a chamber play from the TV control room, shows the moral challenges and the pressure to which the TV team is exposed.
How should one report on such a situation when the perpetrators use the media attention for their own purposes?
"Sometimes a single movie succeeds in transporting us so intensely into the past that we feel as if we were there ourselves, even if
ourselves, even if the event took place many decades ago" (Jury of the Bavarian Film Award)
